Steel Technologies to expand operations in Mexico

Steel Technologies LLC, Louisville, Ky., has secured land in the municipality of Celaya, Mexico, to construct a flat-rolled steel processing operation. The 125,000-sq.-ft. facility will be equipped with two slitting lines as well as space for additional equipment under consideration. The facility is expected to be fully operational by the end of the year.

"The new Celaya operation will expand our geographic reach within Mexico and will complement our network of steel processing facilities within the country," said Michael J. Carroll, president and CEO of Steel Technologies.

Steel Technologies processes flat-rolled steel to specific thickness, width, temper, finish, and shape requirements for the automotive, appliance, lawn and garden, agriculture, construction, office furniture, hardware, and consumer goods industries.
